Greg,
There should be a few for you to choose from around $10, give or take a dollar or so.
You should be able to get either the 64 Principe or 35 '26 for sure in that price range.
The Monarca is usually around $12.
The rest start getting closer to the $12 to $15.

The '26 get closer to and over $20.
The '45 are running $25 to $30 in my area.

Give Bill a call at Island Smoke Shop in Key Largo.
I am sure Bill will hook you up where even after shipping, you will be way ahead on price.

I have found that the majority of CCs that I have smoked were overrated, but I wouldn't make a blanket statement and say that was true of all CCs.

Not snobbish at all. People have different tastes and preferences.

Why snobbish? That's his opinion..smoke what you like, like what you smoke.

I have found very few "premium" NCs that ever lived up to their hype, but I won't make a blanket statement either.

When it comes to nc's I would also say, none.

What's hype?

Jbailey · 03-30-2010, 03:35 PM

I picked up a few of the Ashton ESG CHurchill's ($25 I think) when they first came out and didn't smoke my first one till at least a year or two later. It did absolutely nothing for me at all, I still have a few left. I also still have some seven year old Opus I paid $24 a few years ago, maybe I'll have to pull one out for the hell of it.

So far I haven't found an NC that I would pay over $20 for.

Blueface · 03-30-2010, 03:42 PM

NC's over $20...........I wouldn't say none.
I would say "few".
Those few would be any Padron Anni ('26 #1, 40th, 45th, or 80th).
I try to treat myself to one of any of those choices per quarter. A must on Father's Day. I think I am worth it.

sofaman · 03-30-2010, 05:03 PM

In my opinion there are only 2 The origanal LGD Small Batch #1 and the Padron 1926 80th Maduro

That's good Tom because Peter will tell you what to like

Bubba - NJ · 03-30-2010, 05:32 PM

To me the one that was really worth the price was the Casa Fuente Churchill . But thats just me .

cigarmonkel · 03-30-2010, 05:56 PM

Can't say i personally have smoked anything that i have paid over 20 dollars for. Closest i've come has been PAN64's, Ashton VSG's, Tat boris, drac and other hard to find cigars but retail for tops 18ish.

So for the 20+ dollar range i've got nothing for ya but when it comes to your "not an everyday smoke" my top faves are as follows:

PAN 64
Tat Boris/Frank
Any Illusione
Cruzado (a new found favorite)
have yet to try a 26, 80th, esg ect ect.. i just can't bring myself to drop 25 bucks for one cigar. Maybe someday though when i have my walk in humidor in my bedroom with 46inch 1080i tv in it *starts day dreaming*

Nope, I just feel their are NO "premium" NC's worth MY money.

maverickdrinker · 03-30-2010, 08:22 PM

cohiba esplendido, cohiba siglo VI, montecristo sublime, ramon allones phoencia

RightAJ · 03-30-2010, 08:35 PM

The only one for me really was the Padron 80th. Worth every damn penny

Haven't smoked too many other $20+ sticks though...

aj

Ranger_B · 03-30-2010, 08:45 PM

I would have to agree with many who have already said the Padron 80th and the 45 "hammer". My treat cigar is the ESG churchill I love those.

massphatness · 03-30-2010, 08:49 PM

If you win my contest, you'll get to smoke a whole bunch of $20+ sticks and see what all the hype is about. But you can't win if you don't enter.
